Torre will be back per press conference

[g$$]

Joe Torre will return next year to manage the NY Yankees. Press conference on ESPN right now. Will A-Rod return too?

re arod - who would/could take on that contract?

[g$$]

He is owed $64 million over the next 4 years (the Rangers are paying the rest). He has a no trade clause too. But there will be offers - maybe the Angels, etc. I would not want his prima donna attitude personally. Great talent, but has never performed in the clutch. 4 hits in last 41 ABs in the postseason. See what happens.

baltimore, mets, dodgers

Don't see the Mets happening. #1 it's still in NY, & #2 the Mets are set for years at 3B/SS with David Wright & Jose Reyes.

Angels, Dodgers, & Cubs are strong possibilities.

The Boss is mellowing in his old age. 20 years ago, Torre would have been fired right after the game. Look at all the times Billy Martin got canned.

Torre is a pawn. He's a loser.
